I think they're setting the stage for Lee Gyeong getting accused of favoritism or inappropriate behavior. My guess is that Lee Gyeong is going to get close or seem close to the daughter bc of her mom, and that will lead to misunderstandings and accusations.

let me correct myself then, you're obsessed with bashing Korea

Same! Watching for them. Actually, I also enjoy Seokju's scenes with Jeyeon. I have a soft spot for Seokju, but Hae and Taerin's scenes are also enjoyable. For some reason, the main couple's chemistry is lacking something for me.

bro... based on your comments, you're obsessed with Korea.

This is so overblown, especially the carpet. I can see how two out of three points might be annoying, but nothing to be outraged about. I'm watching this drama and it's anti-America. China is barely mentioned. Spoiler alert, but in the drama, America creates fake weapons of mass destruction to start a war with North Korea. America is the enemy, not China.

YOU GUYS, it's good!!

Yes, PCW is a genius. But I'm talking about the uniqueness of Jeong Seo Kyung's writing, which was sterilized to make something mainstream.

In my humble opinion, Little Women is top tier, while Tempest is above average. Absurd directions is on par for the course for many films/shows, including critically acclaimed ones. What matters is execution, which I think Little Women did well.

Streaming services have gotten top tier directors for tv shows, including Park Chan Wook with The Little Drummer Girl and The Sympathizer. TV shows can absolutely be as high quality as movies.

This is a solid drama and JJH and KDW are solid actors. But I'm used to feasting on ultra premium cream of the crop quality from writer Jung Seo Kyung. I've watched her works Little Women, The Handmaiden, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Decision to Leave, The Truth Beneath, Thirst, etc and those are incomparably better. I can't fault the director either, bc Kim Hee Won is an excellent director.

I think Jeong Seo Kyung tried doing something more mainstream, but it's not hitting as hard as her past works. Also, JJH and KDW can't carry as hard as Chungmuro actors. And I know there's probably going to be a plot twist bc that's her style, but I don't think even the most stellar ending will change the nature of this drama, which feels somewhat generic and derivative of American political shows. Don't get me wrong though, I do appreciate the tender moments and beauty of JJH and KDW.

"Will there be romance?" Well, he's holding her hand in the poster. And in other photos, they're gazing at each other under umbrellas in the rain and walking together by the river, etc. There's at least going to be some hinting, subtext. They might not kiss, but there's going to be some tension, at least on his end.

I haven't read spoilers or fan theories, so the adoptive dad (white hair) seems suspicious. It was suspicious that the old man was so adamant Suyeol not talk to his mother. Also, there seemed to be potential creepiness when he took a photo of the girl he was fostering.

I Have a Lover is a great melo romance. The leads are beautiful and great at acting: Ji Jin Hee and Kim Hyun Joo. The female lead becomes a cold hearted woman and loses her memory, and she and her husband fall in love again.

Jingoo has more screen time and a deeper relationship with Yeojin than Hana. He's been Yeojin's righthand man his whole life. He went full bodyguard mode and protected her when protesters were throwing eggs at her. I feel like a stoic, loyal bodyguard role would suit him more.

This drama is really fun, and Park Eun Bin and Seol Kyung Gu's acting is on fire, but this feels like two different dramas: one is a serial killer dark comedy and the other is a serious political medical drama.

If this is 102 episodes, I trust Jiseok will not betray Hana. But if this is 120 eps, like the rumor, then Jiseok will probably switch sides to extend the plot 🙄

Honestly, I'm glad it's Jingoo saving Seyoung and not Jiseok 😂 I know Jiseok has feelings for Seyoung, but I don't want Seyoung to have a happy ending with him. He's too good for her 😭 The shaman told Seyoung to go west (to Jiseok) if she wants a good life, and she didn't, so I hope she doesn't get a happy ending.

I predict Jiseok will offer to run away and leave behind their greed and revenge and start over, but she will reject him and commit more crimes and end up in an insane asylum and regret it for the rest of her life.

Thoughts;
- At this point, even the scriptwriter has given up on robot Jingu and is giving all the lines and action to Jiseok.
- I was glad when Hana rejected Eunchong bc it's temporary and it gives her the power. The tables are turned! She was trampled and criticized as a bad parent, but now Grandma realizes how important Hana is and is on her knees begging Hana to come back.
- My ending would be Hana and Jiseok stealing the company from Grandma and Hana becoming the CEO. Then she can pass on the company to Eunchong.
- I think Evil Hana would look better with a red lip than a nude lip.

Lol I love that we all like melo eyes Jiseok more than cardboard robot Jingu. The actor who plays Jiseok is no acting genius, but he can portray emotions with depth and nuance unlike Jingu.

My Dearest Nemesis! It's a fun, light hearted watch. The lead actress (Moon
Gayoung) is great at acting and she plays a strong female lead!

Of course not! But she is being frustratingly naive and unrealistic. She needs all the help she can get. She can't have the baby without help, no matter how much she wants to.

And she will definitely have the baby and create a happy family with DS. But the baby will make the evil Grandma cause a lot of problems.
